Answer:
Milk in the jug was 48.56 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of milk in the jug = x ounces
Danielle used [tex]\frac{1}{19}[/tex] of the jug of milk so remaining milk in the jug = [tex]x-\frac{x}{19}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{18x}{19}[/tex]
She poured 20.5 ounces of milk into a bowl of cornflakes.
So the milk remaining in the jug = [tex]\frac{18x}{19}-20.5[/tex]
If the remaining milk in the jug is 25.5 ounces ten we have to calculate the amount of milk the jug originally contained.
25.5 = [tex]\frac{18x}{19}-20.5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{18x}{19}=25.5+20.5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{18x}{19}=46[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{46\times 19}{18}[/tex]
x = 48.56 ounces
Milk in the jug was 48.56 ounces.
